   On the other hand the rich got rich by having no morals. Musk and Thiel have   
   both advocated for annexing Greenland. Bezos and even Gates have said America   
   should be mining rare earths in Greenland.   
      
   It is absolutely essential to take Greenland to protect against China cutting   
   off rare earth exports, ending Chinese extraction of rare earths in Greenland.   
      
   There is nothing the rest of the world can do if Trump does it. Spineless   
   Starmer won't even condemn the annexation of Venezuela and won't want to put   
   British forces in harms way. No European country will.   
      
   The rest of the world, at least the west, has made itself dependent on   
   America, has made enemies of China and Russia, have fucked themselves over, so   
   will just have to suck it up.   
      
   Whether Trump does do it or not - and I think he will - he has already shown   
   the UK and Europe is impotent. He's already won.
